Israel-Hamas warfare dwell: IDF admits digging up Gaza graves

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has admitted that it dug up Palestinian graves in a Gaza cemetery.

Footage emerged earlier this week from a bulldozed graveyard in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, exhibiting cracked gravestones and a few human stays left uncovered.

In a press release given to American broadcaster NBC, the IDF mentioned it had dug up graves within the cemetery to see if useless hostages had been buried there.

“The hostage identification process, conducted at a secure and alternative location, ensures optimal professional conditions and respect for the deceased,” it mentioned, regardless of pictures from the graveyard exhibiting in depth injury.

“Bodies determined not to be those of hostages are returned with dignity and respect.

“If not for Hamas’s reprehensible decision to take Israeli men, women, children and babies as hostages, the need for such searches … would not exist.”
